Nice, perfect color.

Cory

...Thanks Don, CG, Cory and Nate. Don- by all means, please call if you get out this way! Nate- a trip to Carson (and the RR museum?) would be fantastic! Renee e-mailed some photos of you & Pat when she visited recently... :) Today is Fix Or Repair Day with two headlight switches and an ignition switch to replace... The HCS quit cold on the way to work yesterday. 'Could've fixed it if I had a paper clip, but waited an hour for the tow truck instead ;-)

HCS looking good! And it is already homesick?? :grin:

Tim let me know next time you need a paperclip...Ill drive the 2 hours just as an excuse to visit the Mustang Ranch. Figure for each car you drive you get your card punched?

When you get the card filled you get to have your picture on your wall? LOL!

Ha, ha... apparently ;-) Right now, she's a big blue display car not unlike the diecast inside the house. It was actually the harness plug-in that is bad... brittle and showing signs of shorting. I ordered a new unit from Dallas Mustang that includes the plug. Be sure to check yours if you replace old ignition switches...

HappyHour - give me a call anytime you're in the area. With a little notice, we'll go do some formation "photo flights" ;-)

Indeed, good luck on your drive up Robert!

In Neveda City will be the Pioneer Classic Car Show, Saturday June 28 hosted by the Nevada County Mustangers. cost is $20 per entry if before 6/21 or $25 at the gate. We can meet at my house & go the 10 miles together & have alot of fun as before :) Ron (clubpro) - come up and take one of mine!..

E-mail me at airfest@gmail.com for an (MSWord) entry form and bring cameras ;-) Nevada City is every bit picturesque and historic as Grass Valley. I can help w/ directions and overnite accomodations as well.

Hmmmmm, I might be able to make this one. I know I go to the Bay area on the 21st with the "company car" so I should be free the previous weekend.
Thanks!

...Okay - I have had to decide I cannot attend the (above) show in Nevada City with my cars. Work (end of month) constraints and focus on promoting an upcoming air show leave too little time to do it right :-(...

Renee, Ron, CJ & Happy Hour - I will PM you shortly... Real bummer for me, but....... !!!

Hey Tim, I understand that sometimes other obligations must take priority. We will miss you and your beautiful cars. I still plan to go myself so I will take pictures...

Yes Sir!! Darn, that means that I will actually need to download the pictures from my camera right away and get them posted (I tend to procrastinate a bit on doing that).

Too bad you can't make it up this weekend Robert, but I will look forward to seeing you in Auburn for the Air Show.

Tim, I agree with Robert. You should post something out here about Thunder in The Sky coming up in August ;-) I'm sure that others would be interested.

Okay Robert, here are a few pictures that I took at the Pioneer Park Car Show on Saturday. It was a great day and there were about 105 cars in attendance. The smoke in the area was still lingering in the air, but not as bad as it had been over the past week. I had a really good time with Tim's son T.J. and my niece Brittin who spent the day with me so I wouldn't be alone.
